So the Red Sox cheated to win the World Series.

They had a team stealing pitchers signs and relaying them to batters.

Had the same accusations. Yet, they didn’t win the WS this year. When faced with a team that is allegedly cheating......out maneuvering them is the best offense.

Question is, did belicheat ever stop cheating? Or just rarely got caught.
